In other threads here, we've seen Christianity under relentless attack to be stricken from everywhere. But yet we see Islamist are to begin BROADCASTING OVER LOAD SPEAKERS their call to prayer.
This happened as a result of a city council meeting in a town in MI. There happened to be a noise ordinance that would prohibit this. This community is predominately of Polish immigration. Seems there is allot of animosity and felings of reverse discrimination. Gee, ya think; in these PC happy times? But I digress.
Bottom line is that the non-muslim towns folks don't want Allah as being the only god being broadcast 5 times per day for up to 5 minutes at a time, seven days a week. Seems the call is more than "Hey, common, it's time to pray! The call is typically some verse from the Koran - or a mini sermon if you will. I mean - has anyone heard this call to prayer? Without seeming biggoted, to me it sounds like a cat fight.
Quote from one resident:
International Herald Tribune
"Everyone talks about their rights," Schultz said. "The rights of Christians have been stripped from them. Last week, there were Muslims praying downstairs, in a public building. If Christians tried to do that, the ACLU would shut us down."

Given what has transpired in other parts of the nation with "church/state issues", I've got to say I think this guy has a point and I agree with him.
This nation was founded on the concept of a higher power - referred to at the time as God. Freedom of religion is guaranteed - the freedom to cram it down someones throat is not.
I can see it now - if the calls to prayer are not allowed - there will be suit brought to prohibit churces from tolling their bells. How is it that for many, many years none of this has been an issue? now we have fathers suing over the pledge (I know, wording changed as a result of McCarthyism in the early 50's), classroom prayer prohibited. Soon, the mere mention of a Christian God will probably get you thrown in jail or your citizenship revoked and yourself deported (I know, snide) and your first born child sacrificed to beelzebub.
I think I have gotten myself worked up - no, not me

. It's just I can't figure out how all of a sudden what was good for our founding father, is the basis of our culture, values and beliefs; is no longer good enough or apparently not tolerated. So to the original poster, he is right, we should be afraid.
